The massive impact sounds kept exploding, causing the ear drums of everyone else to painfully throb as echoes shuddered through the basent.
"All right, in a mont we’ll go out and find a separate place to slowly settle this fight, but first let’s discuss urgent matters," Li Chengyi said in a grave tone.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop.
Rainbow Candy then released her grip, dragging Dragon Gate Crane, who had a swollen face, back to the side of the table.
"As you’ve all seen, after obtaining the awakening thod from Dragon Gate Crane, I’ve managed to activate the Fantasia Floral Armor. I must say, the technology of this armor has already touched upon space teleportation, biological fusion parasitism, gene-specific enhancent, and so on. If this set of technologies were to be exposed, it could lead to major turmoil. So it’s best we maintain a consistent story," Rainbow Candy said with a sigh.
"That’s right. Space jumps are generally only used for large distances. This kind of short-range precision teleportation is probably still in the experintal stage even for White Star, far from practical application," Xindela spoke up.
"So please keep this matter confidential," Li Chengyi nodded in agreent.
"Next, we need to carefully consider whether to go to Sutan imdiately to look for the whereabouts of the next Book of Record. Harns, a team mber with Lien, was carrying the Book of Record, being Sutanese, we might be able to find so clues there.
Additionally, when Qiong An erged from the Blind Spot, she didn’t return to the sa location she had entered from years before. Does this imply that there are other patterns within the Blind Spot that we have yet to discover? Has anyone tried escaping the Blind Spot with two people touching each other?" Li Chengyi asked.
"There have been two incidents in the company involving new Blind Spot Individuals erging, and their exit locations usually appear in one place; this isn’t an isolated case," Da Xiong, as the manager, was very clear about these matters.
"Are you suggesting that if a team could link themselves together through so thod, they might be able to enter and exit a Blind Spot at a specific location?" Xindela asked.
"Yes," Da Xiong nodded. "Additionally, I’ve perford a scan and detected that the Golden Eye Snake Ring that Brother Yi brought out isn’t pure gold. It also contains so substance similar to human bone tissue hidden inside the golden tal. I suspect it might be connected to the teleportation sites."
"Could it be that in order to have all Lien’s team mbers enter and exit in the sa position, they crafted the Golden Eye Snake Rings?" Xiao Zhong speculated.
"I’d like Da Xiong and Xiao Zhong to analyze it later, and if possible, we might be able to replicate this functionality. Jointly entering and exiting a Blind Spot can be very convenient at tis," Li Chengyi stated solemnly.
"Understood."
"Leave it to !"
The two responded in unison.
"Zhongyi University has been suppressed by us, and there won’t be an issue for a short ti, but this will likely draw even more attention. I hope everyone is aware of this," Li Chengyi said.
"The incident with Noel Group won’t happen again. I’ve already perfected a new surveillance network. Right now, Suiyang is our stronghold. Even if Jiu Yi were to co, we’d detect them imdiately," Rainbow Candy said firmly as she returned to her seat.
The group engaged in a detailed discussion on the team’s future developnt and plans, with Da Xiong suggesting the recruitnt of a few new mbers, which everyone decided to evaluate first.
Actually, our current numbers are sufficient. There’s no rush unless we co across a few exceptionally talented Blind Spot Individuals.
The discussion went on until late, after which everyone dispersed.
"Boss."
Just before leaving, Li Chengyi suddenly called out to Xindela.
"What is it?" Xindela turned around, his legs fully recovered now, with the gradually strengthening Fantasia Floral Armor nourishing his all-around physique.
"Can we talk?" Li Chengyi asked.
"...Of course," Xindela smiled. Looking at Li Chengyi, he saw the young face bathed in the glow of White Star’s light under the night sky.
For a mont, he thought he saw Lien from more than ten years ago.
That was the last ti they t on White Star.
Both Li Chengyi and Lien from those days were so confident, brimming with talent, possessing an audacious spirit and confidence beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
Co to think of it, they wouldn’t have dared take on the daunting journey to uncover the origins of the Blind Spot without substantial confidence and self-assurance.
The two returned inside the villa, strolling through a small garden in the backyard, slowly walking around The Garden.
March had arrived, the early spring dampness clung to one’s clothing, as if the whole body was shrouded in moisture.
"Boss, actually reaching this point, I have many, many doubts, many, many questions. I have no one to turn to for answers because I feel that many people around aren’t qualified to answer them. Only you," Li Chengyi pondered, considering carefully how to articulate his questions.
"No need to rush, the privilege of youth is the right to make mistakes," Xindela said with a smile, "You’re already far better than many others."
"It’s not the sa... I am just an ordinary university student; compared to many others, I know little, my level isn’t high, and my vision isn’t far-reaching," Li Chengyi said in a low voice, "Even establishing this team, I feel unqualified to lead everyone forward. Rainbow Candy and Da Xiong have stronger leadership than I do. In fact, they are more suitable to lead everyone forward than I am."
"What you said isn’t wrong," Xindela said with a smile, "but you’ve overlooked the most important core."
"What is it?"
"Why have we gathered together?"
"Because... I am a High-Frequency Blinker," Li Chengyi answered.
"Is that all?" Xindela shook his head.
"There’s more?" Li Chengyi asked back, puzzled.
"If that were the only reason, your team would have disbanded the first ti you encountered difficulty," Xindela stated.
"Yeah... why is everyone willing to gather around ?" Li Chengyi was equally puzzled.
"Actually, the reason is quite simple. It’s not that they can’t, but that they don’t want to," Xindela took a few steps forward and looked up at the night sky.
"As you said, both Rainbow Candy and Da Xiong have the capability and strength to be leaders. But why don’t they?"
"Because... personality?"
"Yes, because they don’t want to, they are unwilling. And you, you are the reason they’ve co together, the core," Xindela sighed softly.
"A leader, what is most needed isn’t strength, but responsibility and foresight!"
"Through each event, you have shown responsibility, facing adversity and formidable enemies, you were the first to confront them head-on, holding the fort, eventually turning defeat into victory! This is your responsibility."
"In the pursuit of Blind Spot clues, you managed to constantly realign the direction, ensuring the team stayed on the right path, continually finding new progress and clues, this is your foresight!"
Xindela’s words left Li Chengyi in deep thought.
"Actually, I just think that the weak should not drag the team down, so I need to ensure I am not the weak one..." he frowned slightly. "Then, how can I beco a successful, powerful leader? In Dark City, I discovered many traces left by Lien, without a doubt, he is not as strong as I am, but in various aspects, in being a leader, he is stronger! If he had my strength... he would definitely do better than I have!"
"Lien is a person with a lot of personal charm; he always gives people a feeling of warmth and hope," Xindela said with a hint of nostalgia, "No matter the difficulties, he always has a smile on his face. But he has his path, and you have yours. You are two distinct individuals."
"Powerful, successful leaders should have so things in common, right?" Li Chengyi asked earnestly.
"Of course," Xindela nodded. "A truly powerful leader, soone who stands firm, definitely possesses several common characteristics. These should beco the goals you aim for as you move forward."
"Is it leadership? Cohesion? Eloquence?" Li Chengyi guessed.
"No... none of these is the foundation," Xindela shook his head.
He raised his index finger.
"The first step for a successful and powerful leader is to..."
"Reduce weaknesses!"
"Reduce weaknesses?"
"Correct. The most essential aspect of becoming a leader is first making oneself invincible!"
